Gutless Gabe Watch for the week of March 29, 2026 Every time you pull up to a gas station and wince at the price at the pump, Rep. Gabe Evans wants you to believe it’s Colorado Democrats’ fault. Not the war on Iran. Not the president who launched it. Not the closure of the Strait of Hormuz that’s been dominating the […]
(Squeaky clean Jarvis Caldwell has a dark side — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Colorado House Minority Leader Jarvis Caldwell’s vote on a gun bill has angered some of his more conservative constituents. Among them is a former elected official who sees him as straying from the principles he […]
TUESDAY UPDATE: As The New York Times reports, the news gets worse: Gasoline in the United States crossed an average of $4 a gallon on Tuesday, a threshold it hadn’t reached since August 2022, continuing a series of nearly uninterrupted increases since the Middle East war began that are chipping away at the spending power […]
Colorado Democrats wrapped up their assembly process on Saturday in Pueblo, sorting out the primary election ballot order for statewide races and, in some cases ending campaigns that didn’t garner enough support and had not ensured their spot via petition. Making the biggest news from the Democratic assembly process was the contest in CD-1 the […]
Airport security lines for your Spring Break vacation are close to getting shorter…but not if House Republicans have anything to say about it! As The Washington Post reports: The Senate voted early Friday morning to fund much of the Department of Homeland Security, taking a step to reopen large parts of an agency that has […]
This is either one of the craziest political stories we’ve seen this year or the perfect example of our current upside-down world. As Amanda Swinhart of The Associated Press reports with a fantastic lede: Looking back, gubernatorial candidate Dean Roy says his political ambitions started in the eighth grade. And by that he means, last […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the Bread Sandwich was toast, and now he’s…untoasted as Donald Trump un-undorseses him for the seat he already has in Congress. Then, what would you do with $200 billion dollars? If the answer isn’t “probably start World War III,” well, then you have a better fiscal policy than the President […]
As Ryan Spencer reports for the Summit Daily, the Trump administration’s scrutiny of national parks, monuments, and other federally-funded points of historical interest for materials considered offensive to Trump’s grade-school jingoistic view of American history, which we’ve discussed in this space a few times, rolls on beneath the din of everything else competing for your […]
A week ago at the CD-1 Democratic assembly in Denver, longtime Democratic Rep. Diana DeGette took a surprising second place to a previously unknown longshot candidate backed by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) splinter group, 28-year-old law grad Melat Kiros. Anyone who has played in Colorado politics knows that party assembly results are in […]
The Denver Post’s Seth Klamann reported over the weekend on as piece of legislation that is unlikely to make it all the way through the process and be signed into law, but nonetheless deserves more attention because of the very serious problem that it acknowledges: giant corporations who pay their workers so little that they […]
As the Washington Post reports, today President Donald Trump announced what he calls “productive talks” in negotiations with Iran to end the war he started over three weeks ago, threatening the global economy with no clear goals or end strategy: President Donald Trump said Monday the United States is negotiating with Iran to end the […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times-Recorder As the country’s first meatpacking strike since the 1980s reaches its fifth day, a handful of Colorado’s top Democrats have spoken out in support of workers at the JBS facility, while leading Republicans, with one exception, have been silent or noncommittal — or critical of […]
FRIDAY UPDATE: We told you this was coming. Colorado Sun: The gap between how much money the Colorado legislature has to allocate this year and the cost of maintaining the state’s current level of government programs and services has grown to more than $1.5 billion, nonpartisan Capitol staff told lawmakers Thursday. That means the General […]
Both as a 2024 candidate and since he was elected President, Donald Trump promised again and again that his administration would lower the cost of energy for Americans. The exact opposite has happened. From The New York Times: Since the start of the war in Iran, the average price of gas in the United States […]
UPDATE: Rep. Diana DeGette of Denver calls for every Cesar Chavez monument to be renamed to honor women activists like Dolores Huerta: “The accusations against César Chávez are shocking and disturbing. Legacy does not guarantee absolution, and I unequivocally condemn these abhorrent actions and stand with the survivors of his abuse. The UFW movement is […]
Senate Republicans are trying to focus attention on President Trump’s proposed legislation on voting restrictions, dubbed the “Save America Act,” a clumsy solution in search of a problem that Trump is hoping can prevent massive Democratic victories in the 2026 election. Senate Republicans don’t actually have the votes to pass what Trump says is the […]
(Something you can do about it — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Educators, health care workers, local officials, and others rallied on the steps of the state Capitol Tuesday to launch a campaign to place an initiative on the November ballot that would ask voters if they want Colorado […]
As Michael Karlik reports for the Colorado Springs Gazette, a federal judge delivered a powerful rebuke to the Trump administration yesterday in a written order halting the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s so-called “pilot project” to hold back millions of dollars in food assistance funds from the state of Colorado, on pretenses so thin that the […]
It’s day 16 of the war on Iran, launched after President Donald Trump decided in his infinite wisdom that negotiations with that country over its nuclear weapons program weren’t going well enough to deserve the “President of Peace” treatment, initially with the stated goal of regime change but now unclear as the Iranian regime shows […]
NBC News reports while every Republican who has spent the last year celebrating the declining price of gasoline either cringes or plugs their ears: Anyone listening to President Donald Trump’s speeches has heard him say it and say it again: Gas prices are dropping on his watch, making life more affordable. The day before he […]
The circus that is the Colorado Republican Party needs a new head clown. Again. State GOP Chair Brita Horn — who has twice received votes of “no confidence” in the last month — has decided that she also has no confidence in the state party and will walk away from the job she won just […]
(There’s always room for one more in the Moving Mountains Club — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Last week, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert released a “February Recap” video, an official communication which updates constituents on the recent work she’s been doing on their behalf. The video opens with her in front of […]
Meet Sue Flageolle. Flageolle is one of two people seeking the Democratic nomination for Jefferson County Assessor and hoping to make the ballot via the county assembly on Saturday. She is currently the Deputy Assessor and is running against current Jefferson County Commissioner Andy Kerr, a former State Representative and State Senator. This might seem […]
Last month we discussed a confounding decision by left-wing groups to display a piñata likeness of a Democrat who did not appear at a CO-08 candidate forum hosted by Working Families Party (WFP) and COLOR Latina. The event in Thornton was a troubling example for Democrats of the sort of obsession with infighting that has […]
As the Denver Post’s Seth Klamann reports, after provoking a five-alarm backlash among Democrats as well as Republicans who care about election integrity by suggesting a commutation of convicted former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters was imminent, Colorado Gov.
